[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 248751, member: 12863"] Long range to me is anything beyond a hair hold with the particular cartridge at hand. Example: As a kid I sighted my 270 with 130 gr bullets 3" high at a hundred yards. When a deer was way out yonder, say four hundred yards, I put the crosshairs the width of the cross hair below the back line and behind the shoulder. If it fell at the shot that was point blank. If I had to hold over, that was long range. Todays tools: when I run out of crosshair(s) and have to put on an elevated base to get more MOA, that is ultra long range. Or I run out of crosshairs and then have to hold over the back, that is long range. Neal [/QUOTE]
